Professional Achievement |
After 25+ years of significant achievement in the marketing and sales exeperience IT Consulting Industry, I made career shift to residential real estate in 2017, joining The Ballard Group of @properties.

Working with the extremely diverse team of The Ballard Group has also afforded me the opportunity to tap into the tremendous talent within the team….bringing even more value to my clients.

Bio |
Born in Alaska, raised in Orlando and have been calling Chicago home since 2005! I was extremely fortunate to have been raised in a very accepting, inspiring and loving home, something that gave me the necessary tools and foundatin to find success in all aspects of my life. A fundamental experience that helped to define and shape me as a young man was spending a year in Sweden as an exchange student. Being immersed in a new culture, language and away from my family for a year truly pushed me out of any comfort zone I had known, and allowed me see that I had to the ability to adapt / adopt to a new language, new cultural norms and the daily roadblocks you experience in a totally new landscape — this experience truly redefined who I was and made me realize anything was possible. As a gay man, that resilience and ability to adapt was essential — I have been fortunate to find acceptance throughout my life, and understand the criticality of sharing that acceptance as I traverse through life. One of my favorite saying is that 'Change is Good for the Soul' — and I truly believe that, and have been blessed with continual positive change throughout my life journey.
